Sold at the lower estimate price
The work Embroidering Orpheus: Jean Cocteau Through The Eyes Of Bianca Jagger by Francesco Vezzoli was sold in the The Italian Sale auction at Sothebys in London in October 2015. The result of GBP 60,000.00 (€ 83,925.01) was exactly at the lower end of the estimate range of GBP 60,000.00 – 80,000.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Francesco Vezzoli - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Veruschka, which sold at auction in October 2007 for GBP 156,500.00 (€ 224,744.30).
Zuschlag beim unteren Schätzpreis
Die Arbeit Embroidering Orpheus: Jean Cocteau Through The Eyes Of Bianca Jagger von Francesco Vezzoli wurde im Oktober 2015 in der Auktion The Italian Sale bei Sothebys in London versteigert. Das dabei erzielte Ergebnis von GBP 60.000,00 (€ 83.925,01) entsprach exakt dem unteren Ende der Schätzpreisspanne von GBP 60.000,00 – 80.000,00. Für andere Arbeiten von Francesco Vezzoli mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Veruschka beobachtet, die im Oktober 2007 für GBP 156.500,00 (€ 224.744,30) versteigert wurde.
